Large and Small Otiks

If you did not see the movie "Little Otik", this won't mean much to you.....but to those who did,

WOW! We went to the Foundry in St. Charles, MO, which has, among other things, 20 artist's studios. Most of the artists were away at shows, so I had to capture this huge "Otik" through the

window.

I also saw...in an art store where I could not take photos....fully dressed dolls fashioned from tree branches. I so wanted one, but the price and the

possibility of it growing, took care of that. Still, I can't get them out of my mind. Perhaps, it's a universal mother's nightmare.
